All the effort the weird right wing put into pizza gate and Epstein being a monster, in a hypocrisy free world, this would get them all riled up. But we all know it won’t.
The Shitshow Continues
I’m picturing a bunch of FBI agents with two side-by-side printouts, the list of Epstein’s clients and a list of Trump campaign donors, cross-referencing them in order to make sure “sensitive information” is redacted.

Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire hedge fund manager, settled in court Tuesday more than a decade after his saga of sexual exploitation of underage girls was revealed by the Palm Beach police in 2005.
According to an investigation by the Miami Herald, from at least 2001 to 2005, Epstein lured underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion to partake in a network of sexual exploitation.
From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal candidates and committees and over $18,000 to Republican candidates and groups, according to data from OpenSecrets. Notable recipients include former President Bill Clinton and former Senator Bob Packwood, a Republican. In 2003, a couple of years before a full-scale investigation into the allegations of sexual exploitation of underage girls, his political giving abruptly stopped.
From 1999 to 2003, Epstein donated $77,000 to Democrats John Kerry, Richard Gephardt, Chris Dodd, and other high-profile politicians and committees. Dodd received a $1,000 contribution from Epstein during his reelection campaign in 2003, however, the contribution was returned in 2006.So unless you’re insinuating that Bill Clinton and John Kerry are republicans… I deeply, deeply doubt it.
